Reddit reacts to Saar Francisco Doing the Needful and the Supreme Court letting them

Just kidding they're only reacting to the Supreme Court allowing it part.

This has dumb written all over it. Part of the blame lies with San Francisco for this one since they brought the lawsuit. (-14)

No uh you see someone else stamped off on it!

Drinking raw sewage to own the libs!

Edit: For the people who can't be bothered to read the entire article, yes, San Fransisco brought the suit. Yet it was conservative justices who sided with them - liberal justices (and Barrett) did not. This affects more than just San Fransisco. Enjoy that sewage!

Doesn't seem to be that uncommon of an opinion

If you find raw sewage in your water supply, please feel free to find those who voted for this and share some with them.

The EPA issued San Francisco a permit allowing it to discharge pollutants from its combined sewer system into the Pacific Ocean.

Been telling these California idiots to stop voting blue forever, they never seem to listen.

Conservatives on the Supreme Court made this ruling. They didn't have to, but they did. This has full support from conservatives in power.

Oh wait are redditors perhaps falling for ragebait?

if you'd bother to read the entire article, you'd know this ruling doesn't really change anything. San Fran was already permitted to dump sewage into the pacific. They were challenging the vagueness of the permit. They want the EPA to tell them exactly how much they are allowed, not an arbitrary "not too much"

No it couldn't be, I definitely understand this lawsuit in it's entirety after reading a Guardian article. The executive should have "broad regulatory power" to do what I want, but not to do things I don't want.

Okay, maybe someone can enlighten me on this:

"The Republican super majority court ruled on Tuesday that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) cannot employ generic, water body-focused pollution discharge limits to Clean Water Act permit holders, and must provide specific limitations to pollution permittees."

This doesn't sound like a bad thing

"The permit's conditions include prohibitions on discharges that contribute to a violation of applicable water quality standards. The permit included generic prohibitions on the impacts to water quality, as part of the EPA's efforts to halt San Francisco's releases of raw sewage into the Pacific Ocean during rainstorms."

It sounds like the issue not about the clean water act per se, it seems more like they want specific limitations which doesn't sound unreasonable, but it depends on what they want to set that limitation to.

Nah it is a bad thing. This is the Conservative justices striking down more Broad regulatory power that the EPA had. It's so they can litigate the minutia of everything ( them striking down Chevron Doctrine) and chip away at the clean water act. So yes the extreme activists on the Supreme Court got a win for their pro business billionaire buddies.

That's about all I can stomach formatting on my phone
